I contend that it is selfish power and personal monetary gain from the tens of millions of "lost" US cash his country had received that drives it.
If he cared about the safety of his people millions of them would not be dead and displaced while he jets around the world, buys estates in foreign countries, and he and his cabinet drive luxury vehicles.
You are misinterpreting my statement about the war being resolved.
If war is resolved today, no more money, no more being president, no more freak off parties, potential prosecution for corruption.
If he allowed elections to occur at the designated time, he risked being voted out.
If he retained office for the next 5 years, he would be ineligible to run again.
By enacting Marshall Law he can be president until the war is over and can then run for office for an additional 5 years.
That is a lot of time which equals a lot of money.
It is when the war stops that the investigations into what happened to the tens of millions of lost US dollars will begin.
Study the life and times of any American puppet president of a foreign nation.
Let me know when you find one that had a positive outcome.
I stated my belief that Zelensky does not want to take the chance that he would be voted out of office to prevent an incoming president from negotiating a diplomatic solution to resolve the war with Russia and then scrutinize Zelensky and his administration for violations of law and betraying the public trust.
Do not be so naive as to think the US is not expecting all of that "free" money back, (including the lost money, aka stolen money) and then some.
How did you get that I meant Russia was right to invade Ukraine out of that?
